The new law, which took effect July 1, bans all so-called facilitating payments and does not expressly allow entertainment of government officials and others.

• Impact of Corruption On Foreign Direct Investment and Tax Revenues

Using Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), this paper establishes a statistically significant link between CPI and foreign direct investment (FDI) flows to 54 developing and developed countries. In addition to each country's CPI, several location and economic characteristics are also postulated to influence FDI. For a group of 22 developing countries, the paper then simulates the impact of an improvement in the CPI score on FDI. This simulation shows that a one point improvement in CPI would generate on average additional FDI of 0.5% of GDP. For instance, the gain in annual FDI would be $7.5 billion for India and $18 billion for China. The paper further simulates the effects of larger FDI on the generation of taxable income and tax revenues in each country us...

• Corruption City, U.S.A.

In an election that will bring the city its first new mayor in 22 years, and that will result in many new faces on Chicago City Council, the report's authors have put forth a 15-point "agenda for change" to end what they term the city's "culture of corruption". The city's Building and Zoning Department, examined in the current report, is rife with bribery and extortion. There has been a pattern of "increased brazenness" on the part of employees, the report found, leading it to call the department "a poster child for patronage hiring and clout" together with bribes for zoning and building permits. The first anti-corruption report, released two years ago, examined aldermanic corruption since 1970. It termed the Chicago City Council a "fertile breeding ground" for "the most notorious and p...

Kline, an anti-abortion activist who initiated the investigation leading to 107 charges against Planned Parenthood in Johnson County, said in an interview with The Topeka Capital-Journal that "Shreddergate" should demonstrate the depth of corruption in defense of the Kansas abortion industry.
